I got up this morning full of cheer and happiness, my eldest girl asks why I'm happy and I say United lost to Madrid, she says who are Mildred !, then my youngest girl asks why we are laughing so we tell her, to which she responds with laughter and says yipee United lost, to which off she goes to tell my wife. A minute later I hear both my girls (5 & 7 years old), talking about nani and they both find it very funny that a grandma plays for them and my youngest says that it might be nanny plum off Ben and Hollies cartoon. I get downstairs and to keep my morning in happy mode, I switch on SSN to see them dressed in black and the bloke in a red tie and my word they were very downcast on there. Then to top off my happiness so far, irani and brazil are clutching at every straw under the footballing sun, to defend nani and United, whilst irani berates one of his own for acting bitter towards them, for agreeing with the sending off. And finally I read that Ferguson is too distraught to talk to the press, what a mard arse.
This morning has been such a happy time for me and my family, a bit like a second christmas morning.
So thank you Man United, talksport, SSN and fergie, for making today special.
